Ethan rose from the ground with a deliberate slowness, and Lilith mirrored his actions, grateful for the information they had just acquired. His gaze shifted downward to Rugard, who lay amidst the company of the troll ladies.
"Thank you for sharing your knowledge, you really helped a lot." Ethan acknowledged, maintaining a respectful tone. He glanced at Rugard, who seemed at ease, his eyes gently closed as he embraced the warmth of his companions.
"Indeed, it is customary for kings to demonstrate self-sufficiency as a gesture of sportsmanship, at least until the Amber dance commences," Rugard replied with a hint of amusement.
"Rest well," Ethan responded softly, his parting words carrying an air of courtesy. Stepping out of the tent, he was followed closely by Lilith, leaving behind the tranquil scene within.
Observing Ethan's departure from the tent, Rugard couldn't help but smile, appreciating the young man's demeanor.
